      They go together. A lot of Americans are stressed out poor–destitute people just trying to make it to their next paycheck.

      That’s why we have weak protests and also why a shithead like Trump lying and saying he’ll fix it, has a chance politically.

      The wealth gap is wider than ever, and that’s going to be what finally pushes the country one direction or another. I’d rather that we didn’t have to collapse to reform things, but the billionaires probably aren’t going let reforms that will hurt their number happen.

      We’re gonna have to eat the rich, but it’s probably going to cost countless poor people’s lives.
